Seeing Mrs. Jia sleeping soundly, Qu Jianlei was too embarrassed to disturb her and could only stand there silently.

However, the moment he stopped, Mrs. Jia's snoring stopped abruptly.

Then she raised her head, wiped the corners of her mouth with her cuff, and slowly opened her eyes, "What's the matter?"

Qu Jianlei smiled, "Grandma Jia, are you asleep or not?"

"Replenish your mind and be lazy," said Mrs. Jia's old eyes, which were still half-opened and half-closed, with cloudy eyes.

"Dead two years early, how long can I sleep longer? Don't worry now... what's the matter?"

Qu Jianlei took out a few photos, on which was the broken hairpin, "I want to ask, do you know this one?"

"Huh?" Mrs. Jia glanced at it, her eyes widened instantly, "Is this...a hairpin?"

As imagined, the word "hairpin" she said was pronounced in Shenzhou dialect, but still with an accent.

"I found it on Steve." Qu Jianlei was unwilling to deceive the old lady, "It feels a bit mysterious."

"Ah, he still has such a good thing on him?" Old lady Jia looked surprised.

The next moment, she twitched and said, "This... can you take it out for me to see?"

"This..." Now it was Qu Jianlei's turn to be speechless, "I want to say that it was destroyed by me, do you believe it?"

"Of course I believe it," Mrs. Jia heard, and as soon as she relaxed, she leaned lazily on the cabinet again.

"If you want to lie to me, there are plenty of excuses."

How about saying that the old lady is alive? That is really understand everything.

Qu Jianlei hadn't figured out how much to talk to the other party, so he couldn't hold back when he saw this.

"That hairpin has the ability to resist mental attacks, it feels very weird."

Mrs. Jia squinted her eyes and replied lazily, "It's normal. Hairpins are either to defend against mental attacks or to defend against lightning."

Isn't this my nemesis? Qu Jianlei was stunned when he heard the words, "Can it still withstand electromagnetic attacks?"

"Yes," Mrs. Jia replied weakly, but the next moment, her eyes opened suddenly, and her expression became serious.

"You mean that after the hairpin is broken, it can still repel your spiritual power?"

"Yeah," Qu Jianlei felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn't deny the fact, "Fortunately, Steve didn't show it."

"That guy... is lucky," Mrs. Jia sighed softly, with deep emotion in her heart.

Immediately afterwards, she looked at Qu Jianlei with piercing eyes, "This thing can be damaged...is there any debris?"

"Grandma Jia, you need to give me some news." Qu Jianlei is not stupid, how could he not know that this is the time to make a condition?

"If I don't have enough reasons, I'll show you... It's not easy to explain."

He didn't say who he was talking to—it was actually for his hometown, but if the old lady made up something else, it's none of his business.

Granny Jia's eyes flashed again, and she hesitated to speak, "Since you don't know...it may cause you trouble."

"I'm not afraid of trouble," Qu Jianlei replied very simply.

He couldn't back down when the news reached this level, "It's better to be shocking enough, so that I have reason to convince others."

"This..." Mrs. Jia pondered for a while, then sighed again, "In fact, quite a few people know about it, and it has something to do with divine texts."

The old lady knew that this kind of defensive object had no trace of its origin and could not be duplicated.

But anyone who can get this kind of thing has a great chance, and the preciousness of this thing is indescribable.

She was lucky enough to hear some news before, and knew that it was armor, which mainly guarded against two rare means of attack.

At the end, she let out a long sigh, "It's been passed down from time immemorial... there are also hairpins that can be enlarged, and the attack is also very sharp."

"However, no one has ever seen that kind of attacking hairpin, but the latter two kinds of hairpins can be seen occasionally."

Qu Jianlei asked aloud, "How much is this broken hairpin worth?"

"Ten highest...at least!" Mrs. Jia replied without hesitation, "You can still have defensive capabilities if broken, high-end goods!"

"This is really..." Qu Jianlei twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this, Xiaohu, this brat, is too extravagant!

Then he coughed softly, "This Steve really has no brains. With such a treasure in his possession, what kind of electromagnetic body technique is he trying to steal?"

After all, according to the old lady's comment, the electromagnetic body technique is only worth two supremes at most.

"He doesn't dare let others know," Mrs. Jia replied steadily, "otherwise he won't be able to keep it."

Qu Jianlei was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, "Can't even keep this kind of thing?"

"The highest is also divided into strong and weak." Granny Jia replied calmly, "I'm quite curious, how could you break it?"

Is this what I need to take out? Qu Jianlei's heart is like a mirror.

But he still has another question to ask, "Grandma Jia, how did you get this information?"

"Get..." Mrs. Jia's eyes narrowed, "There are many channels, and it's good to live for a long time."

"However, most of the channels are through official channels, such as colleges and the military, and others are personal experiences."

Hearing this, Qu Jianlei pondered and asked, "Does Lushui College have any similar information?"

"Green water is impossible," Mrs. Jia shook her head and replied without hesitation, "History is too short."

What else did Qu Jianlei want to ask, but the old lady couldn't bear it anymore, "I've been asking for a long time, can you let me see things?"

Qu Jianlei took out two truncated hairpins wrapped in paper, and carefully placed them on the table.

Granny Jia straightened her back, carefully opened the paper bag, and was taken aback when she saw the broken hairpin.

She carefully sensed it several times with her mental power, and fell into deep thought.

After about a minute, she raised her head and looked at Qu Jianlei suspiciously, "It's so miserable...how did you do it?"

Qu Jianlei waved his hand, and replied very simply, "Sorry, it's not convenient to say that."

He also realized now that sometimes a direct refusal is more effective than a tactful refusal, and it can also break the other party's mind.

Of course, the premise is that you have this ability, otherwise, it's not a rejection, it's courting death.

As expected, Mrs. Jia didn't care about it. After thinking for a while, she suddenly said, "How much has your cultivation base increased?"

"Cultivation...growth?" Qu Jianlei was stunned when he heard the words, "Mine?"

He really didn't expect that this thing can increase cultivation, but these benefits are all obtained by Xiaohu.

Old lady Jia was even more stunned than he was, "After destroying such a treasure, your cultivation has not increased?"

Qu Jianlei blinked his eyes, expressed uncertainty, "It seems...it has some healing effect."

Mrs. Jia frowned when she heard the words, and then nodded slowly, "Maybe...the energy on this kind of thing is very peaceful."

Qu Jianlei also frowned, "Do you have energy? I only sense some spiritual supplements."

"I don't know about that," Mrs. Jia shook her head bluntly.

The next moment, she said thoughtfully, "But it's hard to say, isn't it normal to replenish mental power to defend against mental attacks?"

Qu Jianlei was thinking about something else, "You said the energy is more peaceful...is that a different energy?"

"You have to ask your family members about this," Mrs. Jia replied very simply, "There are some things that I shouldn't tell you."

Qu Jianlei pondered for a while and said, "The last question, is this energy possessed by the civilization that has mastered the divine language?"

Since it is called divine text, it must belong to other civilizations.

Even if there are some civilizations different from the empire in this universe, they should not be called gods.

"Of course," Mrs. Jia replied without hesitation.

She didn't think that the other party didn't know this information, and then she sighed, "It's a pity that it appeared too briefly."

Qu Jianlei suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know much about this civilization, can you elaborate?"

Old lady Jia gave him a blank look, "Go back and ask your family members. If they don't tell you, it means you are not qualified to know."

I have a family of my own, Qu Jianlei didn't want to talk about it anymore, he glanced at the broken hairpin, "Then I took it away?"

Granny Jia's mouth moved, and it could be seen that she was also very interested in the remains of the broken hairpin.

But she still watched Qu Jianlei put away the broken hairpin, and asked softly, "Can you tell me how you broke it?"

Qu Jianlei shook his head and replied with a smile, "Who can have no secrets?"

Seeing him go straight away, Mrs. Jia stared at his back, then shook her head slightly, "You really dare to show anything."

Qu Jianlei gained a lot today, especially since he was sure that there were people from China who really came here.

Moreover, there should not be too few people who know the news, and the barrier of hate only hate information still exists.

The key is that this kind of barrier is still a tacit understanding formed together, which is different from the official implementation.

Even Mrs. Jia was like this. She helped Qu Jianlei a lot, and even helped deal with Steve.

But when it comes to this topic, she won't say a word.

That afternoon, the atmosphere in the old city became tense, and the city guards and patrols stepped up their patrols and began door-to-door investigations.

The library was also investigated, and everyone was called out to verify their identities, even those who borrowed books were not spared.

But no matter what, this is a government agency after all, and the investigators just follow the procedures casually.

Strictly speaking, it's not that the investigators were negligent in their duties, it's really...a metropolitan area with a population of 50 million, they simply don't have the ability to conduct detailed investigations!

When investigating Qu Jianlei, it was relatively strict, and I don't know if the government got the big list from Quantum Group.

Qu Jianlei held his composure and acted fine, but after interrogating him twice, someone still said they would take him away for a thorough investigation.

The investigation force is not enough, you can take it back and investigate slowly, right?

At this moment, Mrs. Jia came forward, and she said tremblingly, "Come here, panda, help me sort out the books."

No one would care about a white-haired old woman, but the curator said, "Panda, go."

The investigators were quite dissatisfied, but the curator coughed lightly, "Grandma Jia is the A-level guarding the solitary building!"

A-level fighters are really far away from ordinary people, and anyone who knows the library knows the nature of the orphan building.

So after some hesitation, they still didn't pester Qu Jianlei anymore and let him go.
